Aboriginal policies ‘ethnic cleansing’

Starving Aboriginal people off their traditional homelands is akin to “ethnic cleansing”, the Amnesty International boss has been told during his Central Australia visit.Amnesty International chief Salil Shetty visited communities in Utopia on the weekend describing the plight of locals as “devastating.””I’ve been to many places in bad shape in Africa, Asia and Latin America but what makes it stark here is when you remind yourself you’re actually in one of the richest countries in the world,” Mr Shetty told AAP in Utopia.
